Japan's Investors to Abandon U.S. Economy for Earthquake & Tsunami Reconstruction Efforts

Looks like the U.S. Economy could end up taking another hit. Apparently, MSNBC.com is reporting that Japanese investors may end up withdrawing their investments from the U.S. economy and bring their money home to help finance reconstruction in Japan.

The article goes on to say that such a tremendous withdrawal of financial resources could have a severe impact on the stock market as well as devalue the U.S. dollar.

Mr. President better tell the Corporations Hoarding the cash to START SPENDING!

WOW Wait Till the markets open on Monday. This is a game changer in the GOP plans.

I'm not surprised nor do I blame them. There country and people are more important than investing in our economy etc right now. I would be upset if they didnt really.

Can we say American investors would do the same???

This is what has always been so inspiring about the Japanese people. It's unfortunate that U.S. businesses and corporations don't feel that same way about their country, the United States.

When was the last time the states were ever united? If ever??

Amen.

Our country has always lived by the motto: One Nation Divided

There was one time America was united in their efforts that I remember and that was the 911 New York terrorist attack. Everyone was pitching in and donating time, supplies and money. I was never more proud to be an American.

I wish we would be like that again now and make our country great again.

I think what we're going to see is Wall Street dropping about 1,000 points this coming week.

We are screwed but the riches will really GET screwed with their self made house of cards. The Prez NEEDS to CALL OUT "ALL" the companies to COME HOME and INVEST...OR ELSE.

This may not sound nice but I hope Wall street crashes and burns. That is the only way the government and the super wealthy are going to finally get that this country is in real trouble. Money seems to be the only thing that matters to them.

The Japanese have been the biggest financial contributors to our economy since the end of World War II. With this disaster, that is about to end. Even oil prices won't be enough to offset the losses of Japanese investors pulling back.

We're about to sink deeper into debt because I can almost guarantee that this will result in thousands of more job losses as businesses, corporations and retailers on main street start laying off employees.

The same thing happened back in 2007 and 2008 when the stock market crashed over those junk bonds and the mortgage market.

Kathy,

I feel the same way, I hope it crashes and burns.... From what I've read we are on and precipice of an economic collapse anyways.

Think about it and it makes sense to me; no jobs, unemployment high, gas high, food going higher, clothing going higher, homelessness rampant, people on food stamps all time high. We are in the cross hairs of the perfect storm.

didn't factor in the problems over seas....

While I hate to say it, I really do hope the financial markets crash and burn. Republicans would have no choice but to pass comprehensive unemployment benefits and then you'd see our debt spiral to $20 trillion.
